meet Daisy, Daisy Adair

Valentine's Day was another adventure this year ended up going to supper at the SunDial which was a lot of fun. Basically its on top of the Westin Hotel in Downtown Atlanta and it's on the 72nd floor. The entire restauraunt rotates 360 degrees to allow you to see a spectacular view of downtown Atlanta. It was a bit expensive, but the food was amazing and it was worth it as a rare treat. If you ever go, try to get there before sundown and watch the sunset. After sunset is when the city is really beautiful, with all of the lights.

But, to get back to the main topic of this post. As her main Valentine's Day gift, I told Tami that we could get another dog. So, we went yesterday to Atlanta Pet Rescue and got Sissy, which we have renamed Daisy Adair (yes it's a weird name....like our other dogs, Daisy Adair was named for a character on a show that we used to watch.) She is a beagle/chihuahua mix (so we like to call her a cheagle.)

Here are a few pics of her:





Here are her and Willow sleeping next to each other:




and our attempt to get all three of them into one picture.....



With a new puppy, you can imagine things are hectic. To throw more logs on the fire, we're watching Jake and the as yet unnamed "Little Dog" for Tami's Dad and Gail. Here they are, Jake is the big dalmation:



Wish us luck!

Hang Tenn

In a break from posting pictures of our big trip, we took a small trip this past weekend to visit Jenny in Nashville, Tennessee for her birthday (Happy B-Day Jenny!) While there, we tried a couple of restaurants which I think deserve some honorable mention.

The first was breakfast at Noshville ( http://noshville.com/ ). They have a wonderful breakfast (try the Potato Knishes which are great, but somehow didn't make it to the online breakfast menu.... they are kind of hidden.)

Next up was the Loveless Cafe ( http://www.lovelesscafe.com/ ). We had the special, which was BBQ beef brisket on cheddar cheese grits cakes.... very good. Plus, the biscuits are unbelievable.

Other than the places that we ate, we just spent a lot of time hanging out with Jenny, Brian, Mom and Dad and had a great time. We introduced everyone to the game of Billionaire which they all appeared to enjoy as much as we did.

Phillips Island pictures

Unfortunately, we couldn't take pictures of the penguins on Phillips Island. However, we did take some pics of the different views in the area.
